The NFL will be releasing the 2009 schedules Tuesday evening at 6pm central time. The program will air live on the NFL Network.

Rumors are spreading that Free Agent Julius Peppers could land in Dallas. There is no substantial evidence that this is even a possibility, but the idea is interesting.

Running backs Marion Barber and FelixJones have both fully recovered from toe injuries. Jones promising rookie season was ended after six games when his injury occurred. Barber was limited in play last season after his injury, however it gave the Cowboys a chance to see Tashard Choice.

All three running backs are likely to be featured this upcoming season.

Defensive star DeMarcus Ware still awaits his big deal. The Cowboys have yet to sign Ware, who will be a free agent in 2010. The Steelers have signed James Harrison to a 6-year, $51.175 million deal while the Washington Redskins signed Albert Haynesworth to a 7-year, $100 million deal. The Cowboys should base Ware’s deal on those two monster deals.

Cowboys fans all believe Ware deserves to be highest paid player in the NFL, hey Jerry we are waiting…

Wow….I am with Joe D on this one. The 2008 Dallas Cowboys seem to be in a fiery tail spin after a loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Wade Phillips will say everything is fine, he sugar coats losses, and Tony Romo will simply say they were outplayed. The only thing that bothers me is that teams have been outplaying the Cowboys for the past 3 weeks now and there is no signs of impending improvment. Terrell Owens has been diminished into a 8 million dollar complimentary player to Marion Barber and Felix Jones. Jason Witten was close to non-existent today. So what’s going on in the heart of Cowboys land? I have no absolute clue. None whatsoever! And thats the scary part. No one seems to know why they can’t perform to thier level. Absolutely no one. Not Tony Romo, not Terrell Owens, not Marion Barber, not Bradie James, not Demarcus Ware, no one. So where are the leaders of this team? Who is getting in people’s faces for sub-par performances everywhere? Anybody, anyone?

Many players on this team are passive by nature. Many players on this team believe that they are men and don’t need to be yelled at or called out on their performances. Thats where they are wrong. The defense played great the first half holding Arizona. The second half came and they turned into swiss cheese. The secondary is horrid and Demarcus Ware always seems to be a step too late. Pacman Jones looked like a 12 year old boy trying to cover a man out there versus Fitzgerald and Brian Stewart would be better off calling a womens softball game than the Cowboys defensive scheme. Tony Romo at times has looked like a 1st year rookie over the past few weeks than the gun slinging burner we all know he is. Jason’s Garrett’s playing calling at times as well has looked overly conservative as well. This Dallas Cowboy team looks absolutely nothing like the team that beat both Cleveland and Philadelphia a few weeks ago. I am scraed to say that what would happen if we played someone actually good like the Broncos or the Chargers. We would get our butts kicked. Sorry to play the pessimist but you can’t blame me for watching 3 quarters of horrid football by a team that was supposed to be built to win now. Jerry Jones must be having many a sleepless nights nowadays.

The game of football is all about execution. Do your assignment and the play will work to perfection. Today Romo was running for his life. The Dallas Cowboys offensive line was completely dominated. I say DOMINATED. The were outplayed physically and emotionally. I think thats where the problem lies. Too many players on this team arent executing. They are not prepared. They are not motivated. So how do we fix this? Didn’t I already ask this question before……… Hey Mr. Phillips, you need to deliver a really good and long ass chewing. I know it isn’t your style. You prefer men to be men but come on Wade. 3 weeks of sloppy football in a row? You need to call out players on their missed assignments. You need to call out the whole offensive line for almost getting Romo killed today and you need to give another ass chewing to your defense and special teams for playing sub-par. Thats another thing, how many of you out there are now wishing Joe Avezanno was still our special teams coach, This Bruce Reed guy absolutley Sucks! The game started with a busted special teams play and ended with one. If I was Jerry Jones I would of fired the guy on the spot. No questions asked. That is unacceptable.

So overall there is alot of blame to go around for today’s loss. Don’t get me wrong people, I LOVE the Cowboys but their play is utterly unacceptable. This team has gone from the juggernauts of the NFL to it’s joke and I for one as a fan and as loyal follower have to stand up and say something. I know it’s harsh but if this team plays to it’s potential, there isn’t anyone in the league that can compare. And I am not saying that just because I love the Boys. Someone in this team has to stand up and demand accountability and no one does. Patrick Crayton tried to play this role after the loss today but he didn’t go into details. Just stating that people on this team need to start being held accountable and that they needed an ass chewing after the way they played. Good start, now follow through. Something you guys havent been doing lately.

I LOVE THE COWBOYS!!

OK, so it’s Baseball’s Opening Day and I bet you all think that I let my Cowboys focus rest for just this one day. WRONG, think again! Sure, I’m a big baseball fan too, but don’t think the Cowboys are ever out of sight, out of mind.

You know football fans enjoys hot dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jacks, just as much as baseball fans do! And yes, I am fixin’ to have some hot dogs tonight when I watch the Cards vs. Mets on ESPN tonight.

I must say that I am a big fan of the offseason moves that the Cowboys have made so far. Our Cowboys have been the most active team this off-season, and our owner, Jerry Jones has forked over some pretty big bucks, but if that’s what it takes to improve the team, then bring it on! (sorry to use such a corny line from a ridiculous football movie) There’s no mistaking that Leonard Davis and Ken Hamlin were huge additions to the team.

As far as the whole new coaching staff goes, well what’s not to like? We have a great coach with NFL experience in Wade Phillips. But we also injected the staff with some young up and comers who are considered some of the most promising future coaches in the game! I’m talking about guys like Jason Garrett, Ray Sherman, Brian Stewart and one of my favorite Cowboys, Dat Nguyen!

We also have some second and third year players that are on the verge of becoming huge stars in the NFL, like Marion Barber, DeMarcus Ware and my sleeper pick for 2007, Bobby Carpenter!

You want some more good news? We are looking great for the NFL Draft! No only do we have all our picks, but because our shortcomings have been solved through free agency, we will be in the position to draft the best athletes available rather than drafting to fill a need. Teams that show up on Draft Day with that philosophy most often end up with the best drafts. We are in a great position to trade up and steal the best player in the draft!

So where am I going with all this Cowboys enthusiasm on baseball’s Opening Day? Absolutely nowhere! I just wanted you all to know that I might be wearing a Mets cap tonight, but make no mistake about it people, I’m a Cowboys fan 24/7!
